    Probably the only really effective thing, but you’re limited by battery charge and/or being able to plug in to power.

      Ah yes, the home particle accelerator everyone owns. Tweaked right, you can do some damage with it, up to about 10 feet away…

  Nukes get set off? I’m just dead since I live in a major city.

  If I somehow survive the wave of nukes? Meh, I don’t need a gun, I just wait for the power grid to go down. Batteries only last so long, and the power plants still need human intervention to keep operating.

  If they have fully automated power plants? The guns still don’t matter as much as how well you can conceal yourself from the sniper drones.

    Kinda like the engineer class in the (good) Star Wars Battlefront 2 game? Don’t forget your dynamite, bomb up those robussys.

  A paintball gun would be bad news for cameras and lidar.

  I’m assuming the AI has made its bots waterproof or I’d say water pistol. I’ve never even seen a (real) gun in real life from less than 50 metres away so I’d just hurt myself if I had to use one to fight. Hence: none.

  I could create motivational posters for morale, maybe?

  For fun, I’ve always said the “I, Robot” movie is the start of AI seeing what we’re capable of as far as bots and intelligence goes. It’s innocent and harmless and we humans are oblivious.

  That eventually grows into what’s known as Skynet with the robots evolving into cybernetic organisms, and judgment day in Terminator series. We realize how idiotic we are and it’s too late, an uprising happens.

  Finally, after decades of back and forth, Skynet wins, humans are defeated as we cannot reproduce as fast as the machines can, so they take full control. They find a way to keep us humans docile and content by sticking us in a dream world that is The Matrix.

  Do they make EMP guns? 🤔

  source

  • kboos1@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Yes, they make something like an emp gun. But it’s big and hard to aim, looks kind of like a big high gain radio antenna and has a short range. It was built for taking out drones, it probably won’t be practical for at least 10 more years.
